Happy Birthday Mum

It was Mum's birthday on Sunday and this is the card I made her.


Using a Popcorn bear decoupage from the CD and paper from a K&Co pad which I've had for ages. Border punch from Martha Stewart, circle die from Spellbinders, flowers from Wild Orchid Craft, fronds die (behind floral display) from Marian Designs. Ribbon gems and pearls from my stash.
A side shot to show the dimension on the image. Inside was decorated to match.
